Tactical Overview

This second leg is defined by a clash of styles and venue-specific momentum. Almeria have been nearly untouchable in front of their own fans, securing 9 wins in their last 10 league matches at home, a run that includes high-scoring results like the 4-2 win over Mirandes and a 3-2 victory against Malaga. While the mathematical model predicts a -1-1 draw, similar to the first-leg result where Sergio Arribas found the net, Almeria hold the advantage as their higher league finish acts as a tie-breaker. Castellón will be forced to take risks, as they have no choice but to win to advance. The visitors are trending at a recent-form xG of 2.04 per game, which is significantly higher than the league baseline, but they must cope without the pace of A. Mabil and B. Cipenga due to international duty. Almeria's defense, led by Rodrigo Ely and Álex Muñoz, will face heavy pressure from a Castellón side that has seen both teams score in 9 of their last 10 matches across all competitions.
